GE Appliances’ Kentucky plant was searching for a cost effective and simple NFPA compliant containment system.

This industry leading manufacturer of organic friction products (brake pads, etc) was collecting highly abrasive and combustible materials in their newly installed central dust collection system. The system required both explosion vents and isolation for the discharge hoppers. The abrasive materials used in their processes began compromising the system within weeks of the new installation, resulting in clogging of the hoppers.
Further, the abrasives overloaded the close tolerance rotary valves causing them to fail, resulting in broken chains and shaft keys and other system malfunctions leading to extended and expensive downtime.
